Cristi Balaj (53 years old), the president of CFR Cluj, entered the Easter day and gave Giedrius Arlauskis (37 years old), the former goalkeeper of the Transylvanians.
The Lithuanian made several harsh statements to the CFR last days. Told some of the scandals of the past and did not hesitate to take and of Dan Petrescuwhich he nicknamed “Petrică Cercel”.
Champion 5 times with CFR Cluj, Arlauskis received an acid replica from his part Cristi Balajthe person who refrained from using tougher expressions to describe the former goalkeeper in Gruia.

Cristi Balaj, hard reply for Arlauskis: “I could use reprobable expressions”
Balaj claims that Arlauskis was one of the players who received preferential treatment during the time for CFR.
Also, the Lithuanian had an absurd salary: 57,000 euros On the Moon, and Marian Copilu, the former CFR official, would have been the one who always offered him a preferential treatment.
“I have a respect for all the players who have evolved at CFR. It is not for the first time when he makes foamy statements, to say. He believes he is funny and has a high level of importance when he talks about CFR.
They need to understand that those statements are publicized in the media not because of it, thanks to the CFR. If he had spoken of the student sport, he was not very interested in what he says. It uses the name of CFR, where it ate a bread.
I always avoided talking, the job period has passed, the incident causes that I saw documents regarding it. My colleagues who were before at CFR told me, before I came, during the period when that person evolved at CFR.
They told me he was always near the president of the club. If the bus was traveling, he would say he was resolving. He was phone in front of his colleagues: “Listen, you see that we didn't want to go by bus, solve with the plane,” and said he was resolved.
He was sitting in a separate cantonment with the president of the club. When I came, I found a contract for two and a half years in favor, over 57,000 euros a month.
57,000 euros net per month, in the conditions in which he decided to leave when the club president was removed. It is painful as a person who has had preferential benefits at a club for CFR to reach, being a foreigner, to talk about a club in Romania.
We allow strangers, after doing what they did, to talk to Romania about a club of such a manner, it is reprobate.
We let some strangers speak of such an important club they have activated. Many things said about CFR. I stop here, but I stop here because I could use many reprobable words and expressions that could not honor them, “said Cristi Balaj, on the show” Liga Digi Sport “.
We get to allow strangers who did what they did in Romania, we had other expressions in the vocabulary that I could use. We allow them to denigrate an important club that tries to maintain a state of suspense in this edition of the Superliga, and in previous years it has participated in important matches, has also brought points for Romanian football abroad.
CFR has had much more quality goalkeepers, I mean Scuffet or Sava, who are both sometimes in series A and are goalkeepers of excellent quality. Their behavior, not only outside the land, but also on the ground, were balanced people, were not buffoon and masks, with simulations.
The world must know the truth. I tried to be weighted. He ate a bread here, but it happened more than that.
– Cristi BalajPresident of CFR Cluj
FCSB is a favorite. First of all, playing at home and on the national arena has always been difficult. I would go on an equal, how do I know Petrică Cercel (no – the nickname put by Dan Petrescu).
Not. Why would I like it? Louis Munteanu? Come on me with this too! To play, to give more goals, to take the step in big football and then we see.
When you look at the lot, it's a thin CFR Cluj. For me it is a very big surprise that it is beaten at the title. Or there are very weak others, but if you take after the players, as far as I was at CFR Cluj, the team was much more solid.
